Why is it that watching unsolved mysteries are so soothing.
In a convenience store that had some liquor that offered tastings. Watched a woman ask the clerk to open up like 8 different buzz ball flavors, to make her choice... She may have gone from sober to hammered in the process
Day 2 wrapped for the cross country trip... Will not be planning a move to St Louis anytime soon. Onto Columbus!
Day 1 of driving across country complete. Made it from Vegas to Denver. The mountains are so beautiful, but super glad there is no snow.
I feel like the Onion has their job cut out with them competing against the real world now a days
As a child I was told to tell the truth and admit when I was wrong and take responsibility. No company or anyone acting as a representative of a company has ever admitted they are wrong or ever willingly taken responsibility to me.
If you post on LinkedIn about how amazing your company is to allow you to take PTO (something I assume is negotiated during your hiring), I am going to assume the post is made under duress.
As my nieces get older, use more social media, and we become "friends," my recommendations for new friends are now limited to just 1,000 high school kids.
Today is a good day to go through last year's camera roll and delete all those pictures that make you think, "wtf was that?"
Last day of winter break, tomorrow back to a normal weekend. Per the norm of my life, I got the sniffles on Dec 23 and am only finally feeling better today. Biology apparently hates me to take a vacation.
If your business card includes "Visionary" as your title... it is immediately going in the trash.
My google takeout is 11 files of 50 gb each... I am a digital hoarder. Maybe a new years resolution has to be to delete more.
One of my favorite holiday traditions is watching Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer and listening to my husband get furious at how the misfit toys are treated by Santa and the elves... "You fucking made them that way! Take some god damn responsibility!"
Amazon needs to either start paying their delivery people more so they give a single shit about the care they give for my packages OR maybe stop sending fragile things wrapped in plastic bags.
I am setting up a bar cart on my second floor for my office... Getting ready for 2025 π
About half way done Christmas decorations.... Very early for me this year, but I had gone a bit crazy with new lights and such so had to test everything out.
New life goal: be the weird old neighbor that all the neighborhood kids have some weird story about how I'm the town ax murder. #homealone
Let the staycationing begin!
Sadly it became a chore. Although it made it pretty far, it just had to wrap up everything in a nice, pretty bow where everyone learned their lessons. The last three episodes could have been a single one.
I have a terrible habit of watching TV shows until the last three episodes and then just stopping. Sometimes, it is because I don't want the show to end, but most of the time, it is because the show ended up sucking and finishing it is a chore. I just finished Sweet Tooth next to Mr Belvedere.
Just had to brave the world for cherry preserves in preparation for Thursday. Someone with a clear Karen vibe tried to start a conversation with me in line to complain about how there were too many people in the store. I guess it is time to go back to some more crazy hair colors as my shield.
Kicking off the holiday season with making smoked beef for beef stew, donated all the things I no longer use and preparing my list of all the black Fridays deals I need to watch for (literally shampoo and a chest freezer) ... This is 40.
Does anyone have a Google Open Source employee policy that they can recommend? I have one, but I am looking for more examples developers love.
I am finding myself getting more and more easily distracted these days. I am leaning on some of my old tricks, like the Pomorodo Technique, to try and get myself focused. I am finding that the "breaks" end up feeling more restful.
Ah the Browns being extra Brown like. Must be Sunday.
Python. Easiest to find resources and supporting tools
I hope Tapbots is thinking about a blue sky client.
If I was Netflix I might now be constantly reminding us this is on Netflix.
I don't think I have ever watched a boxing match before. I have so much respect for both these women. They both are amazing.
